EN: hammock
The official gear for beach trips and provincial siestas. That thing you tie between two coconut trees and pretend you don't have deadlines. It's the ultimate symbol of 'pahinga muna, bes' and the 'sana all' life.
From Spanish 'hamaca', from Taíno 'hamaka'.
Also commonly spelled as 'hammock' in modern Filipino text, but 'hamaka' is the traditional Filipino spelling.
